Oh, but I hate that Angel like it's nobody's business. I also hate not having internet for two months and being denied this story! When it's finished, I'm printing it out and putting the Stephen T. Colbert Award for the Literary Excellence on it. Yes, I have become a Report fan in the two months since I lost internet and got cable. Back to our regularly scheduled UB programming!!

Yay I'm all caught up!!

Okay, don't know who I feel for more Spike or Buffy...I just want to hug them both better...and while I'm at it can I hit Willow and Angel? Grrr!

Fabulous job, as always, my dear!

OH - you know how to wring us out so well.
I'm a bit confused about Buffy's "It was terrible" but I'm thinking it was about being taken away, not the stay there.
You're writing her confusion very well.

angel and angelus are nearly the same. the difference being angel is a phony. angelus is angelus, but so is angel. very good read, thank you.

Insightful take on their attitudes, we're so used to casting Spike as hero (and part William) that I didn't even consider that Buffy might not see him that way. Also really like the way you portayed Angel - that brief hesitation, and then the smile.

Wow, this is getting intense yet again! I can't wait for more!

nooooooooo! ub, nooooooo! damn angel, that soul dosen't help him on bit. and buffy's so brain washed, why can't see she that angel is angelus? god, more drama to come, yeah? can't wait. man, poor spike. i need to know what he's going to do next.

Agh! Wonderful, I have been reading for a while and finally caught up! You have me hooked, I've been sucked in. I hope you are still updating as I can't wait for more.

update soon!!!!

Ah, your killing me here. So evil to leave it there. But makes for a good cliffhanger. My heart is just breaking for both of them. I love the fact that Buffy will never remove the bracelet. I just hope that she realizes that William still exists inside of Spike. Though I'm sure it will be awhile before the blinders come off. OH, Angel, Angel, *sigh* I just knew this would be how it would play out. But I love the angst. I love a story that captures all elements of a great story. Yours has it in spades.

Wow, what a great chapter! On the one hand, I didn't expect Buffy to just throw herself at Spike (that would be too easy), but on the other hand, I certainly didn't expect her to think of Spike as someone who was now taken over William's body! I hope Dawn figures out first where Buffy's been, assuming that Buffy doesn't tell anyone but Angel. And Angel is perfect. Sweet, but just a bit creepy. I can't wait for the next chapter. Do you know if part 3 is going to be closer in length to part 1 or 2?

Willow and Tara are not looking out for anyone but themselves. Well mainly Willow. And Angel knows exactly what is happening. Come on Buffy. Pick up on a few things and put everyone in their place... I can't imagine what Spike is feeling right now. Just an awesome chapter.

Talk about tearing at my heartstrings!! This is agony for both Buffy and Spike. I'm just hoping she feels better after a good cry and tries to get her head straight. Thank god Dawn's actually talking sense for once! But poor Spike seeing her like that with Angel!! I absolutely can't wait for more!

AWESOME! I love it when you update!

I really liked Buffy being disappointed that she hadn't affected William enough to change the future. I'm sure coming back and seeing that Spike was still the same as when she left would make her question how much William had loved her. I do think she's being dumb, though, in separating William and Spike. I thought she spent enough time with William to see how similar they really are.

It's been so long since I read the beginning, I forgot that Buffy met Angelus in the past! I'm sure that makes this little reunion awkward for Buffy, even if she doesn't admit it.

I'm also curious about what's behind that smile of Angel's. I guess it's obvious from Spike's face that he loves Buffy and is jealous of Angel... but I can't imagine that Angel knows much about what's been going on for Spike in Sunnydale. I kept waiting for Angel to be able to smell William on Buffy... I guess the scent has faded. Wouldn't *that* have been a revelation?

Angelllllllllll...don't you dare be cruel now.

Stupid Buffy - she knows it's now true that Spike is only a monster....

Poor Spike.....Poor Spike

At least she gave Willow a hint of doing something wrong...

This chapter was an ouch.

Oh Damn! After that last chapter I absolutely cannot wait for the next one. I usually review you at spuffy realm but stopped in here tonight and saw an update. Love this story!

Dee

Dawn must be the only semi-intelligent person in Sunnydale. Loved the Spike obssession.

Ooh, the poof is a Devil! I hope Spike gives him the boot in a majorly painful way.

I hope she makes herself clear, I hate for Spike to be hurt anymore then he's going to be, he's doing a great job all by himself. Spike needs to talk to her but that's not going to happen with Angel there. Thank you so much for addressing the matter of Willow and Tara, never paying for anything, while they lived there. Another great chapter UB.

Angel. was. and. always. will. be. a. bastard. This is why I cannot read Angel fic. What you've written is what I see when I look at him. Hero of the night, bah.

And poor Spike/William. ::sob:: This is hell and marvelous pain/hopeful at the same time. Please keep it up. If that blasted vampire hadn't delayed him....

Gawd, but I despise Angel. (apologies to all the A. fans out there.)

Okay, I surmise that this can go two ways...and neither look too good for Spike. I just hope Buffy remembers that he loved her before her time travel routine *sigh*

And wait...I'm guessing Angel doesn't know she spent all that time with Wiliam then, right?
